Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 260

Juniper clapped her hands in delight at the sight of those familiar faces.

A pink-haired woman called Barbie came up to them first, and she hugged Selena. “You’re finally back, Selena. Just in time for your welcoming banquet. Everyone pitched in.”

“Yeah, Selena. It has been years since you left, hasn’t it?” a burly man with a crew cut asked. He was Ken, Barbie’s lover.

“Years? Are you stupid? It has only been months!” Barbie corrected him quickly.

There was another lady standing at the side. She was short-haired and quiet, and she only smiled at Selena as a greeting; the lady was Melissa. The man beside her was a handsome one, and he had blue eyes; he was Melissa’s lover, Joshua.

“Can you guys shut the f*ck up?” Always the one to ruin the good atmosphere, Hades ended their conversation, and his face darkened, which made everyone keep their silence. Hades seldom took part in celebrations, so he went upstairs directly.

Everyone was quiet until he left, then they went into party mode. They ate, drank, and were merry. When the banquet was coming to a close, Barbie whispered into Selena’s ear, “You should see him. He wants to talk.”

Selena knew Hades came for her for something, and she knew the meeting was inevitable. After handing Juniper to her colleagues, she went upstairs alone.

The study’s interiors looked like it came out of a history book, and it suited Hades. Selena knocked on the door before going in, and she saw Hades reading. Then, she sat before him and took a deep breath. “I can’t continue the mission in Astoria.”

“Hmm?”

“You saw what happened. I’ll get killed if I stay there any longer, but I’ve completed my mission anyway. That’s what we agreed on.”

“You did it on purpose.” Hades wasn’t asking; he was making a statement. Of course, Selena’s every move in Astoria didn’t escape him.

Meanwhile, Selena kept quiet, signaling her admittance to her actions.

“So this is how you thank me.” Hades picked up the teacup and sipped some tea.

“I gave you tons of information regarding Fowler Corporation. That information should be enough for you, and our contract’s over, so I owe you nothing. This is the end of our collaboration.”

Hades paused for a moment after Selena finished talking. Instead of retorting, he slowly sipped his tea before putting his cup down. “You think this is the end?”
